History Music / JanesAddiction

* FunWithAcronyms: When they co-headlined a tour with Music/NineInchNails in 2009, it was of course called [[InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja NINJA]].

The band members went on to various side projects - Farrell and Perkins to Porno for Pyros, Navarro joined the RedHotChiliPeppers for their [[FanonDiscontinuity derided album]] ''One Hot Minute'', and Avery formed Banyan - and periodic reunions, one of which resulted in an album of all-new material, ''Strays''. However, none of these reunions included Eric Avery and were generally short-lived. The band finally reunited for good with Avery in 2008, embarking on a tour with Music/NineInchNails. Then Avery left and was replaced on tour with Duff McKagan, of Guns 'N Roses and Velvet Revolver fame. Then [=McKagan=] left before they could enter the studio. Dave Sitek of TV On The Radio plays bass on their upcoming album.

The band was formed in 1985 by vocalist Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro, bassist Eric Avery and drummer Stephen Perkins. They named themselves after Farrell's roommate Jane Bainter, who was addicted to drugs. They spent some time building up a following by playing various clubs in Los Angeles, attracting record company attention. They signed with Warner Bros. Records, but released their first record, the live album ''Jane's Addiction'' on an independent label in 1987.
